I planted my individual cloves in June which is the first month of Winter down here and they are 7 up out of 9 this is the best time to plant them in my Sub-Tropical climate.

Thankyou Clara for that it was very kind of you I have been researching some vege meals and have found some more nice recipes I will post some over the next few days.
